Yeah, Intel switched to this naming scheme a couple of months ago. I guess they had to after changing cores and sockets with many of their processors retaining the same clock speeds.
JStrider, Athlon XPs are named after their Intel counterparts. Your Athlon XP 1900+ is named 1900+ because it's the equivalent of a 1.9 GHz Pentium 4 even though it's only 1.6 GHz. AMD has to do this because non-computer savvy people will believe that a 1900 MHz P4 is faster than a 1600 MHz. Not the case!
